Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017202656A1] The invention relates to a method for producing a semiconductor wafer of monocrystalline silicon, to a device for carrying out the method and to a semiconductor wafer of monocrystalline silicon that contains oxygen and at least one n-type dopant. The method comprises providing a melt of silicon that contains n-type dopant in a quartz crucible, wherein the melt has an initial height hM; heating the melt from the side by selectively applying heat to an upper volume of the melt that has an initial height hm, wherein the height hm is less than the height hM; pulling a single crystal of silicon by the CZ method from the melt at a pulling rate V; heating the melt from above in the region of a phase boundary between the growing single crystal and the melt; heating the melt from above in the region of a surface of the melt; applying a magnetic field to the melt; counterdoping the melt with p-type dopant; and separating the semiconductor wafer of monocrystalline silicon from the single crystal.
